Patent number: 11906657Abstract: A method and system device provides a unique object identification process by obtaining information from one or more of radar signals, infrared signals, optical signals, audio signals, and other signals. The method includes continuously receiving object data at the device, applying by a machine learning system, a set of parameters to process the object identification and confidence level, and outputting or updating the object identification, confidence level, and actionable recommendations. The radar data includes a Doppler signature having a wrapped signal due to a sampling rate of the radar system. The Doppler signature is used to train the machine learning system to identify drone types.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2019Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Fortem Technologies, Inc.Inventors: David Preece, Mikko Valimaki, Mitchell Kay Oldroyd, Adam Eugene Robertson, Bryan Alan Davis, Matthew Elliott Argyle, David Thimm, James David Mackie

Patent number: 11747113Abstract: A flying vehicle is disclosed with a projectile module or component that contains a projectile for projecting at another flying device. The flying vehicle receives an identification of a target flying device and applies a projectile model which generates a determination that indicates whether a projectile, if fired from the projectile component, the projectile will hit the target flying device. The projectile model taking into account one or more of a wind modeling in an area around the flying vehicle based on an inference of wind due to a tilt of the flying vehicle, a projected path of the target device based on its identification and a drag on the projectile as it deploys from the projectile component. When the determination indicates that the projectile will hit the targeted device according to a threshold value, the flying vehicle fires the projectile at the targeted flying device.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2020Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: FORTEM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Eric Christopher Townsend, Matthew Elliott Argyle, Norman Fong

Patent number: 11587445Abstract: An example method can include receiving, at a sensor, a signal associated with a motion of a target, processing the signal via a first filter having a first motion model and a second filter having a second motion model to yield a first tracking output and a second tracking output for the target, and weighting the first tracking output and second tracking output according to how well each of the first motion model and second motion model represents the motion of the target, to yield a first weight for the first tracking output and a second weight for the second tracking output. The method can include combining the first tracking output and second tracking output to yield a fused tracking output and sending, to a fusion system, the fused tracking output, the first weight associated with the first tracking output and the second weight associated with the second tracking output.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2022Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: Fortem Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Joshua Yohane Sakamaki, Matthew Elliott Argyle
